“I answered the phone, and Susan Rodriguez said, ‘They’ve taken our daughter.’

Harry is shocked to discover he has a child with his ex-girlfriend Susan.  Their daughter has been abducted by a vampire of the Red Court, Duchess Arianna Ortega, who blames Harry for her husband’s death.  She is planning to use the girl as a human sacrifice to gain enough power for the Red Court to rule the world.

Thanks to diplomatic wrangling, the White Council refuses to offer help.  Harry must rely on his own skills and cunning to outwit the monsters and save his daughter.  He has the help of many friends and familiar characters (cop Murphy; Harry’s half brother, vampire Thomas; Sanya the Knight; and Harry’s apprentice, Molly) as they risk everything to save Harry’s daughter.  The book ends with a cliff hanger on the last few pages.  I’m really anxious to read the next one now.  This CAN’T be the end!!!

Changes  is a great read, full of  action and with a clever plot that keeps you guessing.  The longest book in The Dresden Files series, there is never a dull moment in this book.  For Harry Dresden fans, this is a must read.  If you are a new reader, don’t start the series here, go back to Storm Front: Book 1.
